Battery Pack Operation

The equipment is powered by a lithium-ion battery. The battery
pack is completely sealed and maintenance free.

Battery Charge Level Indicator

The battery pack is equipped with a push button for checking
the charge level. Simply press the push button to read off the
battery charge level from the LEDs of the battery indicator:
• All 3 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level
is high.
• 2 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level is
decreasing. Stop work as soon as possible.
• 1 level monitoring LED is lit: Battery is flat. Stop work
IMMEDIATELY and charge the battery. Otherwise the
battery's service life will be greatly shortened.

NOTE: If the charge level button does not appear to be

after resting.
